4/30 14 miles

-Back to trail!
-Breakfast Bagel Sandwich @ I ❤ Bagels
-@ Scissors crossing drop off my Donald. Met Pete from Freedom/Effingham, NH! His old house & barn is just past #666 on Rt 153. Donald gave Pete and 3 others a hitch to Julian
To have the first person I meet back on trail be someone from the tiny region along Rt 153 was another sign I was where I am supposed to be.

-14 mile day. Felt like day 1 again. Stayed on top of blisters (L heel, L big toe inner & outer, R Big toe inner.) Only peed once in 14 miles. Drank 2 Liters water. Definitely feel the hangover in my body much more than brain.
Donald and I crushed a whole lotta whiskey the night before. It was going to be the last time I see him for a long time because he was moving to North Carolina for Special Forces training. Among all the sadness and grief it was a blessing to have this time with my brother. We laughed, we sang, we cried.

-Water Cache!!! Bless these sweet sweet angles.
6:00 pm dehydrated, gonna chug a liter
8:23 pm Good pee a few min ago, Mac n Cheese w Tuna, PB and Goldfish, Body Mind Soul tired.

-Painted scene from mountain traverse, looking at hills that hold Julian.
